KitCAD – Developers blog

Due to security issue, data was deleted from offline storage during the months of September and October, 2011.

All security issues were resolved, and no data escaped.

The KitCAD i3 generation code for newer versions (example: RadPHP) has now been deleted and will not be restored. Existing examples found on various offline backups will remain for possible future use while any Online examples will remain unchanged.

Offline versions of KitCAD i3, Website, and selected data has been restored to a working condition or backedup for possible future uses. Development of future KitCAD i3 functions may be affected by the loss of working data.

JScript Editor Interface

The image above is from testing of the next KitCAD i3 KGC TEST release due for January 2011.

The JavaScript function editing interface allows users to change code related to KitCAD i3 KGC output generation data. The editor does not include full support for all KitCAD i3 KGC output formats but includes support for the standards of Anima8e, Quote/PDF, Vrml, and Sketchup-Ruby.

The code highlighter textarea control on the JavaScript Editor Interface is powered by EditArea.

See the Novermber release notice for Script Editor Menu Interface for more information about the missing JavaScript editor.

Uploaded a 2011 alpha test case for the JavaScript runtime optimiser & DOM Store with an example of required changes to just one KitCAD i3 KGC function.

See the KitCAD225_kgc_exploit_function_catche example online.

Full changes to KitCAD i3 KGC source code are not expected to be completed and uploaded until some time in early 2011.

The example Runtime JavaScript optimizer aids users in removing unwanted cycle and command loops from scripting. The run-once feature allows the inital release of jsappcatche.js to build a store; After which repeated procedure calls to the same functions with same values are evaluated from the pre-built store; The stored functions aids Ajax, xml and repeated user navigation requests. The example DOM storage method allows for page refresh and history.back/foward navigation.
